Hi folks, Ubuntu 8.04 server amd64, headless KVM 1:62+dfsg QEMU 0.9.1 OpenSSH 1:4.7p1 The server is running ready to install guest OS remotely. I'm prepared to install Ubuntu 6.06 server amd64 as guest. I don't have its ISO.image. But I have its CD installer which was made by burning its ISO image. Any folk has followed before; http://www.howtoforge.com/using-kvm-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon I don't understand following steps; # fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0002c5b4 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/sda2 32 19457 156039345 5 Extended /dev/sda5 32 19457 156039313+ 8e Linux LVM I already ran; # qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu6.06.img 10G Code: Formatting 'ubuntu6.06.img', fmt=qcow2, size=10485760 kB # find / -name ubuntu6.06.img Code: /root/ubuntu6.06.img I can ssh connect the server. Do I need to start the installation with the VNC option? I don't have VNC running on the server. Which of the following packages needed to install? Code: vnc4server linuxvnc python-gtk-vnc Code: kvm -hda disk01.img -cdrom os.iso -m 512 -boot d -vnc IP:1 I suppose here replacing; Code: disk01.img with "ubuntu6.04.img" os.iso with "/path/to/cdrom" What shall I replace hda here? Do I need to run; Code: kvm -hda disk01.img -m 512 -boot c -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:00:01 -net tap -nographic -daemonize etc. Please shed me some light. TIA B.R. satimis
